don't go for calimari wrestler, it's pretty rubbish |
Wow...Midnight Eye is more than just pretty good. It's the best website for Japanese film by far...that I have come across anyway.
Indeed Branded to Kill is a mighty film and one of my favourites of all time. Also, Tokyo Drifter, Youth of the Beast, Tatooed Life and Pistol Opera by the same director.
Any Shinya Tsukamoto is well worth watching. Tetsuo 1 and 2 if you haven't already seen them and Gemini, Bullet Ballet and A Snake of June are also great (especially Gemini)
If you want a heady mix of radical left wing politics, sex and violence and bleak nihilism then you can't go wrong with anything by Koji Wakamatsu. I have only seen a couple of his films but Go Go Second Time Virgin was pretty good.
You've probably seen some Takashi Miike films perhaps but he's done loads and a lot of them are good. Audition, Dead or Alive 2, Bird People of China and Visitor Q are all really good. Audition is fantastic.
And if you like really fucked up shit then see Naked Blood.
